Don't miss the return of Mark Dvorak next week!

We absolutely CANNOT WAIT for Catch the Twain: The Musical.

Take part in this theatrical, educational, and highly entertaining storytelling adventure with Warren Brown as Mark Twain and with songs and tunes by musician and songwriter Mark Dvorak.

Mark did a banjo program with us last fall and it was an absolute blast! If you love Mark Twain, great storytelling, history, music, maybe all of the above -- this one is for you!

There are still some spots left. Sign up now with the link below in the comments.
